Decathlon water proof trousers on the other hand are brilliant! Best out there, never mind the price.
-
I’ve had several pairs of them and found the quality to be shite. Leak leak leak. Got aigle now.

The problem with any technical waterproof gear is all it takes is a single thorn and your wondering why your shoulder is getting damp. They’re only good for 3-5 years before they’re f****d if you’re actually using them. Im a f****r for having to have gear that fits just right so I understand what it’s like. I quite like musto for a smart nice fit hard shell. Their BR2 stuff seems reasonably priced for a few years of use and still look smart. Not a chance I’d hand over a grand for a jacket.

I keep making plans to stick some sort of storage system in mine. But what I need seems to change every week. I’d forever be pulling in out.

I put 140k on a FL2 and it never let me down. I’d have another. Biggest bill on it was for a rear diff which was a known fault. My 10 plate was pre ad blu and dpf. Egr blank was piece of piss. Mine ate track rod ends for some reason. But it was easy to work on compared to the ranger I have now.

Have we ever done that before?
-
Would you f**k off!
-
Not sure if the topic is still relevant as I haven’t read all 12 pages. I quite like what I do now but maybe if I was to have another go I’d give the army or navy a spin or go into forestry work.

Maybe, I bed on shredded teabags in winter. A lot of lads wouldn’t bother with the heater but I would rather have one.
-
I use the 80w tube heater in 1” insulated boxes. Personally I rate them. When it drops to freezing I’ll flick them on at night. Always feels cozy when I stick my hand in. My boxes are only small though.

What would make it truly wild? As far as I’m aware it was free to roam wherever it wanted.

You’re preaching to the choir. I just wanted to state that it wasn’t canned. That lion could roam between the national park and the conservancy as it chose.
-
I’m not disagreeing with you really but just wanted to point out that the Cecil nonsense wasn’t a canned hunt. That lion was a free ranging animal. Generally speaking I wouldn’t be in favour of canned hunting and feel that it does more harm than good, to hunting and conservation. Tangential but the topic of fences isn’t straight forward either. A fenced conservancy or ranch doesn’t necessarily stop the animals passing or mean they’re not effectively free. Something that is often incorrectly assumed.

There’s a lot of my shit don’t stink types in field sports. That aside, I don’t get what the excitement is in using an air rifle that is ballistically a match for a proper rifle. Air rifles have their niche but big game just seems a bit pointless. Most the lads I know who take larger game with one do it purely because they don’t stand a hope of getting granted anything sensible.

I assume anyone with a launch capability has a pretty good awareness of what’s where. But yeah space junk is a growing concern in that sector.
-
What they’re trying to offer is global internet. They could do that with many less satellites if they were far away and so could see a large portion of the earth but then user experience would be shite because the signals would take so long to travel the distance it’d create lag for users. So you put the satellites in a lower orbit which means they see less of the earth so you need more for continuous global coverage. You then need to multiply by two or three to add system redundancy. Its interesting to me because the sheer number makes the system immune to anti satellite weapons. Until t

My nerd senses tingled!
-
I’m sure a few of you have seen this lad recently. Got into a bit of a pickle with an unseen concrete barrier but muscles through. No harm done really. But oh no, the police and council are extremely concerned… On another note, we’ve had some f***ing rain!
-
I’m sure I read something about the early field trials in Vietnam with the 556/M16 were impressive. The lethality of the cartridge they used was great and the wound channels were devastating. Something to do with the bullet tumbling on impact. Since then the bullets terminal performance was stabilised and that led to much reduced lethality.
-
It was only a couple years ago a few commandos ditched the L85 in favour of the AR platform C8. By 2025 they’ll probably have another!
-
Rangers too I believe. Interesting that the MoD is sticking with 556 when the yanks are going up in calibre.
-
The messaging too “by the end of this campaign there will be no hamas” or words to that effect. The lawyers will be busy for years.
-
Yeah that’s the one. I was just finding it myself. Details that are left off the footage can be critical in making any judgement, but I suspect if faced with the same situation, the Royal Marines/Navy would be expected to act differently.
